When Giants Fall – Ravi Zacharias

It is with great grief we hear of Ravi Zacharias’ sins. Another giant has fallen. As we grieve our many-leveled loss, let us come to grips with the fact that our sins are just as grievous to a Holy God. The truth Ravi taught is still the truth. We can be thankful that we have […]

Chariots and Christmas Peace

What does a chariot have to do with Christmas? Chariots are not part of the Christmas story. They usually have to do with transportation or war back in biblical times. I think we all have been bogged down by the events of our national election – or at least I have. I have prayed. I […]

Billy Graham’s Prayer for the Nation ’69

My father, Billy Graham, prayed this prayer at Richard Nixon’s inauguration. Sometimes when we don’t know how to pray it’s good to look to others who do know how. We are at a critical juncture in our nation. We need to pray. Our Father and our God, Thou hast said, “Blessed is that nation whose […]

COVID-19

I have steered away from writing about COVID-19 because everyone was. I am not a physician nor am I an expert on viruses. But there is a virus spreading faster than COVID-19 that I do know something about. FEAR! I think most of us, if we are honest will admit we have felt fear during […]

Trust in the Lord

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5–6 These days it is hard to trust. There is so much uncertainty. But that is exactly what God is telling us to do. Trust […]
